Guys, thanks for the inputs. The SLK does indeed get looks, however, there is no comparison to Porsche. I test drove a Boxster many times back in 2002, totally admiring the gearbox and the way it handled; a little disappointed in some interior components (compared to my 928), but heh. My wife has a total aversion to manual transmissions, which was the final straw that drove the selection to the SLK. The SLK is in no way a sports car, and I realize asking for a comparison on either forum is simply weird. However, I asked this group in the event the 986 was a dog, having been in production now for several years. By the sound of your e-mails it's obviously not, and I will set my sights on looking for a Boxter.
Again, thanks!
